Arusha, a vibrant city at the base of Mount Meru, globally renowned as the gateway to the Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, serving as the starting point for expeditions to the iconic Serengeti National Park and the emblematic Mount Kilimanjaro, offering a blend of mountain scenery, coffee plantations, and rich cultural heritage will host from 04th to 07th June 2026 KARIBU - KILIFAIR Fair, a relevant international trade show for tourism, networking and destination marketing in East Africa.
Recognized as one of the most important tourism fairs in the region, the event is organized by KILIFAIR Promotion Ltd., a seasoned company specializing in the marketing and distribution of tourism products across East Africa.
Held annually on the expansive grounds of the Magereza Grounds in downtown Arusha, close to Arusha Airport and well connected to the regional road network, making the venue particularly accessible. Set amid one of Africa’s most breathtaking landscapes, the fair combines professional significance with an unforgettable experience in the birthplace of African tourism.
Since its inception, KARIBU Fair has become a central industry platform, thanks to its unique combination of local authenticity and international appeal.
The event lives up to its name, “KARIBU” is Swahili for “Welcome”, a fitting title for a fair dedicated to cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and the promotion of tourism on both regional and international levels.
More than 600 exhibitors from over 45 countries take part annually, including airlines, hotels, lodges, safari operators, tour operators, tourism boards, banks, and providers of sustainable and cultural tourism concepts.
The fair draws a wide range of professionals: international buyers, specialized operators, hoteliers, investors, media representatives, and decision - makers from various segments and niches from the tourism industry, all showcasing or seeking new products, partnerships and ideas. As such, the fair functions not only as a professional forum for East Africa but also as an international platform with influence across the entire region.
The offerings range from high - end accommodations and digital booking solutions to handcrafted art and regional cuisine. Innovative technologies that enhance the travel experience are also an integral part of the exhibition.
Core themes of the trade show include sustainable tourism, empowering women in the industry, nurturing young talent, and preserving cultural and ecological resources.
Dozens of industry experts present data and discuss trends covering tourism, conservation, and eco - friendly travel.
Several seminars, workshops, panel discussions, and networking events foster dialogue and support the creation of long - term partnerships.
With a strong focus on B2B matchmaking, the fair uses an appointment platform (KILUCLOD) allowing agents and buyers to seamlessly schedule meetings and explore business opportunities.
Cultural, traditional performances ranging from music, authentic culinary experiences and dance to artistic showcases and representations of 120+ local tribes, enrich the fair and make it an attractive event for the local public as well.
KARIBU - KILIFAIR in all its essence represents much more than a business event, it serves as a strategic hub for knowledge exchange, professional development and inspiration.
